Peugeot PR10 Classic Road Bicycle Mid 1970s

Peugeot was one of those early bicycle manufacturers which grew big and succsessful during the 20th century. Their first bike was already built around 1882. But their reputation grew mainly due to their racing activities. Peugeot sponsored racing squads and cyclists from 1903 until 1983.
In this time they managed to win the tour de france 10 times and numerous championships, classics and one day races. Who has not seen the pictures of Tom Simpson and Eddy Merckx, winning the World Championships 1965 and 1967 on a Peugeot?
And here we have one of those successful bikes a Peugeot PR 10 from the mid 1970s. It radiates all that aura of reliability for which the models of Peugeot were known and highly regarded.
All main tubes are Reynolds 531 butted tubes and the parts are the typical French collection from AVA to Mafac, Simplex and maillard Normandy.
This bike is really nicely preserved and would be a perfect ride for historic races. If you are searching for an Eroica bike, this one might be just the ticket.
